Abstract
An 
- to 
-band frequency quadrupler was developed with a 4.0-dB conversion loss and 11-percent bandwidth using hybrid integrated microwave circuit techniques. The multiplier has a low-pass transforming filter on the input and a bandpass filter consisting of half-wavelength lines edge coupled over quarter wavelengths on the output. Design curves for the bandpass filter are given for ceramic microstrip. Two beam-lead varactors were used in the multiplier giving it an input power-handling capability of 3-watts peak power.
